New pipes to modernise the service and optimise consumption in the Menorcan municipality
What does it consist of?
Ferreries’ drinking water supply network has been partially renovated to boost capacity, improve efficiency and allow the installation of fire hydrants. The project, funded entirely by sustainable tourism tax, replaces old pipelines with more modern, more resistant materials.

The project
Until recently, the drinking water network in several streets in Ferreries ran under the tarmac and was built with fibre cement, an outdated material that had outlived its service life. This situation frequently caused breakdowns due to vehicle traffic and compromised both the quality of service and emergency response capacity.
The project has replaced deteriorated pipes with a ductile cast iron and PN-10 high density polyethylene network, located under the pavement to prevent damage from traffic. This new set-up improves the durability of the infrastructure, increases its capacity to meet demand and allows the installation of fire-fighting systems, thus reinforcing urban safety.
The works have also replaced valves, the installed fire hydrants and used local materials to achieve proper landscape integration. Moreover, the new materials don’t require a lot of maintenance and help to save drinking water through greater network efficiency. This work, carried out with an investment of more than €182,000, represents a significant improvement in the quality of the service and the sustainability of the water supply.
